[389-users] Recover Management Console Password

[Brant Hohnstein]

Thanks for the suggestion.  I think the link you sent me was to reset the Directory Manager password.  Forgive me if I am mistaken.  Don't I need a procedure to change the admin-server password?

Best regards,

Is there a procedure (however cumbersome) to reset the Management Console (admin) password if the password is not currently known?

I changed the admin password in the Console GUI (domainName/ldapservername/ServerGroup/Administration Server/Configure Admin Server/Access(tab).  I must have typed the password wrong twice because it accepted it.  Now I can't seem to type the password "wrong" in the same way to get into the Management Console.

I have tried shutting down the Admin Server and copying in a /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/admpw file from a different 389 server where I do know the password.  After restarting and typing in the known password, I get an error about not being able to contact the directory server.

I have also searched for a password recovery procedure without success.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
